AI Article Synopsis
- A study investigated conflict recovery and dating aggression among couples aged 14-18, involving 209 dyads in observational assessments.
- Negative behaviors were analyzed during both conflict tasks and a cooldown task, alongside questionnaire results measuring physical and psychological aggression.
- The research found that negativity observed during the cooldown task did not correlate with dating aggression after adjusting for prior negative behaviors, suggesting that cooldown negativity influenced the relationship between earlier conflict behaviors and aggression.
Article Abstract
In a study of conflict recovery and adolescent dating aggression, 14- to 18-year-old couples (N = 209 dyads) participated in a 1-hr observational assessment. Negative behavior was observed during conflict-evoking "hot" tasks and in a "cooldown" task. Physical and psychological dating aggression were assessed via questionnaires. Negative behavior measured in the cooldown task was not associated with dating aggression after controlling for carryover effects of negativity from the hot to cooldown tasks. Moreover, cooldown negativity moderated the associations of hot task negativity and dating aggression. Actor and partner effects were disentangled via dyadic data analyses. Given the paucity of observational studies of dating aggression, our findings are an important contribution to the literature and in need of replication and extension.
